so who is actually excited about the new nsx?

I absolutely loved the old one and personally think the new one will be a disappointment comparatively

im excited but in reality its gonna be a different car than the nsx we knew

i don't think it should have the nsx name because of exactly that
it's going to be completely different

the new one is a beast,but ill always prefer the old nsx,it looked so simple and powerful.

the new one holds no candle! *biased*

i loved the mid-engine

and it has no door handles lol

lol
the engine was a pain in the ass to work on though

i like the old one better the new kinda looks too much like a 350z

omg, was it ever! you could barely fit anything down into the engine bay. every bolt and washer gave you sass. nothing was easy.
- i welcome all and every new honda/ acura. i like to see new stuff.

exactly!
and forget it if you dropped a washer. it was long gone

oh yeah this is the first time i heard about this NSX FTW!

I am guessing here, but I bet you can only get it from Japan, like all the rest of the good stuff.

Quote:For its next exotic, Acura will once again tap into the corporate racing program and install a 5.0-liter V-10 (largely because Honda doesn't have a V-8 in its stable at this time) with upwards of 500 horsepower. Not coincidentally, this will put it on par with the upcoming Lexus LF-A supercar, which will also boast a 500-plus-horse V-10. The Advanced Sports Car concept was conceived using a rear-drive version of Acura's deft Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD), but we wouldn't rule out all-wheel drive, either.

Kinda looks like an S2000 to me?

thats just the test mule and thats not how the production car will look. they used s200 parts.
there are new spy shots of it without the s200 swag

Never knew about this.. Kinda does look like what Nissan was going for when the 350 came out...

I'm skeptical about it. Dont know what to make of it honestly...

i think the camo shots looks very similar to lexus's IS-F

It will take a while getting used to the new look, but it is already starting to grow on me even under all that camo.

I think I like the old better still can't wait for the new one to come out though. I did hear it was going to be called the Honda NSX but not to sure if thats just rumors or not.

the name has yet to be settled on
but it just unofficially lapped the ring at 7:37

Yea the only reason I heard of it getting the Honda name is because Acura is going to be more of the luxury cars and hondas going to be all the sport cars. Hondas looking for a class to keep up with caddy and such.

honda wants the GT-Rs balls on a platter and wants the NSX to deliver them

Heck yea.

i cant find the quote of what Fukui's quote but hes after the LF-A too

random site Wrote:Acura’s next supercar is said to be powered by a 550 horsepower 5.5L V10 derived from the V8 to be used in the company’s all-new RL sedan, with power being sent to all four wheels via an updated version of the company’s SH-AWD. An eight-speed gearbox should help to keep the V10 in its sweet spot.

sounds hot
just needs a new name!

damn that's some crazy stuff when I'm rich some day I will own one hahaha.

and thats before they now what the gtr vspec is capable of
i wanna see how that outdo that

yea thats going to be interesting to see.

they only have it beat by a second as it is
i love engineering competitions
only sexy will be produced!

The original NSX was distinctive and exotic, looked like a true supercar. I'm having mixed feelings for the new NSX, the side reminds me of a 350Z too much. Although, Im stoked that its going to have a V10.

EW. If that picture is an accurate image of what the new NSX will look like, I think I might have to shun Honda. The NSX has a specific look and by-golly it shouldn't steer away from that look (pun intended).

old NSX > new NSX.

I love the S2K's but they shouldn't be the chassis for an NSX... and that's my .02 cents.
